Abstract: A drainage structure for use in a sunroof apparatus is provided including a pair of drain drips (7) respectively attached to one ends of a pair of longitudinally extending opposite guide rails (3) of the sunroof apparatus mounted on a vehicle roof (2), the pair of drain drips (7) each having a drain path portion (9) and a communication path portion (11), the respective communication path portions (11) of the pair of drain drips (7) being interconnected through a communication tube (10) and oriented toward a transversely central side of the vehicle roof (2). With this drainage structure, even when water flows from an upper one of the drain drips (7) to a lower one of the drain drips (7) due to tilting of the vehicle to the right and left, the water is less likely to flow into a lower one of the guide rails (3) and hence is prevented from leaking into the inside of the vehicle.

Abstract: A slide tilt roof apparatus in which an engagement protiona to the rear end of a rising/falling link can be guided when the rising/falling link forwardly pivots and also when the link pivots up, whereby the posture of the rising/falling link can be changed by a single member, and the apparatus can be manufactured simply and easily is obtained. In particular, a panel (4) is upwardly tilted from a closed position of an opening portion (3) by a forward movement of a rising/falling link (9), downwardly tilted from the closed position by a forward tilt pivoting of the rising/falling link while moving it rearwardly, and can be moved to a fully open position by a rearward movement of the rising/falling link (9) from the tilt lowered position.
